1st scoot of 2013

[6 Shooter]

​

A few days back we made it home/ta MO for our 1st time this year, so I fired the Vette today for its inaugural 2013 scoot. She got a healthy warm-up, a spirited run, filled her up with gas, and put her to rest for a few more weeks.
​

Very light snow flurries, but she loves cold air!

Happy to see that, shooter!

I have ridden in your Vette. I can attest to the fact you have a beautiful Vette. And she runs like a scalded cat!

As far as I know,Mine is home in the Shop!



For the past 2 weeks I've been cruising my Swedish MeatBall (Volvo V70R Turbo AWD Sport Wagon)up here in the Great White North! (NEMO)

It's been a little slickory up here!

I can't believe how well it handles on Snow and Ice!~!!

They do love that cold air Shooter, but from what I've been reading you're putting your life on the line with the new ones (tires) in cold weather - such a shame!

Too much ice and snow on the roads to get mine out yet.

I find that hard to believe. . . .
Not that I'm sayin anyone is lying here. . Bur one time I didn't get my 98 (GY F1's) before there was snow on the ground and when I drove it down the drive all I did was slide. Now granted, it is downhill, but nothing crazy, and I slid the entire was hoping I would stop before I hit the barn!!
Shooter/Junkie, what tires are you running that handle the snow and ice so well. Being up here in Michigan sometimes it's June before it gets warm!!

The Volvo has Hankook IceBear W300's on it at the time,I took the car trade last summer and it came with Winter and Summer tires.

These tires are really grippy and not at all noise like most winter tires! I give them a "Junks Seal of Approval" Rating of 95+ !

On my 03 I have Kumho ASX All Season's. (Non EMT)
I usually drive the vette when I come up,But have too much stuff to carry home this time from the home place,And the Wagon fits the bill!
The Vette handles well on Wet Roads,Snow and Ice with the Kumho's,and I get good mileage out of them too!(I'm on my second set.)
But it's no All Wheel Drive!

"...you're putting your life on the line..."

JJS - To those of us who drive these modern day rockets, we've shed their badyear tires years ago, and respect their awesome power.

Now get out there and get one!

Yeah, I get that all the time from the guy I work with who has a '79 with 500+ HP (non-stock obviously!) that he runs up at the track in NH.

I understand the C7 will have AWD, Twin Turbos, Camaroesque taillights and a rear seat.

2015 is supposed to have 4 doors.

Can hardly wait!
